Pyoljji-1-2

Air Defence Systemconfirmed

The Pyoljji-1-2, formerly referred to as Pongae-6 is a North Korean two-stage surface-to-air missile that was first tested on 30 September 2021. The system was first shown in the 75th anniversary of the Workers' Party of Korea parade, where it was possibly confused with a long-range cruise missile system. The new weapons system is likely to succeed the Pongae-5, which was similar in design to the S-300 series of anti-aircraft missiles, specifically either the S-300PMU1 or PMU2.
